One of my jobs this summer was going to be making embedded versions of those, but I'd love to get a head start.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />MichaelMichael Dybiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15798378146291460213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838882378909693892.post-82839596794793116432014-08-16T11:59:00.559-04:002014-08-16T11:59:00.559-04:00Anna,

To answer your question, if I have students read a CLC story, then I will use a "From the Top Down" whittled-down embedded reading approach and build students up to the point where they can read the original version easily. BUT I am finding that the CLC stories beginning with Unit 2 start to get really long, are overloaded with way too much vocabulary, start getting really difficult and most importantly, they just are not that interesting for the majority of my students. So...I have been writing my own stories, using a "From the Bottom Up" embedded reading approach. I still use CLC as a guide, and I follow the "spirit" of the book, where I will cover the language structure and a number of vocabulary words from that particular stage.<br /><br />I do not do both one of my stories and a CLC story in a stage, because that gets a lot for students. I do use the CLC stories for a reading comprehension passage on a test or a quiz.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196810680408675365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838882378909693892.post-20884501613863769772014-08-16T11:33:50.569-04:002014-08-16T11:33:50.569-04:00Salve, Keith!

Does it need embedding, too? Seems like you could spend weeks on that story ...
